. the United States, and rcsidentsof the city liti ol* `llarnaeeue, in the county otl'vestinoro lanrl and State oit Pennsylvania, havein rented av new and ueefnl Improvement in ilvietal Garlincs, of which the following is a eijiooil'ioation. y o i lliis invention relates to metal Icarlineis `For Car roofs and; particularly to the Cerline brackets or end members by Whieh the carlinoj` are eecin'ed tothe side plates of the car. This application contains subject matter divided out oit' our pendingapplication, tiled 'Januzny 20, 1919VSerial No; errore. y o i One of the principal objects of the present invention ie to provide a light Carlinoln'aclret which ie strong enough to resist bending and` twietingf` oi the Carlino and` which can housed for connecting carlines i3 il ol dil-feront Sections and lengths to the Side plates ot the car.` `Anotl'ier object is al carlincln'acket which is simple in Construction,

inexpeneive'and easy to apply andwhiclr takes up little space.

The inroldion` consiste in the improved Carlino-bracket and in the combinations of parte hereinafter deecrihcd and claimed.

\ Fig. 8 is a vertical "cross-section' taken through the earline on the line 8 8 in Fig. 7 lookingrtowzu'd the inner face of the side plete 5 `and o Fig. 9 1e a side elevation of the carline end carlinohracket shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the eide plate being shown in crosseecn In the accompanying drawing, our Carlino-bracket' is shown applied to the ordinary type of Wooden side plete 10 and in connection with the form of carline illustrated Ain our pending `application filed January S20., 1919,1Se1'ia`ll No. 271,973, Whose end portion 11 has anfinverted clian1ielsliaped sec tion provided with lateral base flanges 12..

In the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 3 of the drawing, the end of the carline is secured to the adjacent side plate 10- by means of a channelshaped. Carline-hracket 13, which straddles the top of the side plate land is Secured thereto by oleane of horizon tal holte 14 which pase through both ilanges 15 of `the clizinnel-sliaped Carlinohracket 18 and the eide plate 10. The end of the cerline projects over the side plate and rests on the cliannehshaped Carlino- `bracket 18, which is split crosswise on each Carlino are also Securely riveted to the horizontal web portion of the channel-shaped cardine-bracket 13.

ln the Construction shown in Figs. fl to 6, an anglefehaped carline-hracket is shown with its horizontal flange 17 resting;r on the eide late 10 of the car end projecting inward y pest the inner face of the side plateV horizontal ilange of the carline-bracket is4 `sl1t back from its inner margin on opposite sides of the center,` thereby forming a tongue 21 which is riveted to the underside of the web of the channe-l-shaped portion 11 of the carline ina manner similar to the tongue 16 of the channel-shaped carline bracket 13 shown in Figs. l, 2 and 3. I

In the construction shown inFigs. 7 to 9, the carline-bracket 22 is channehshaped and straddles the top and side plate 10. 'The outer flange of the bracket is secured to the side plate by means of `bolts 23 which extend horizontally through the side plate.

in position by means of bolts 24 which eX- tend verticallythrougn the side plate. The

inner vertical iiange of .the bracket is bent inwardly horizontally, as aat 25, and forms a the same.

support for the end` of the carline which rests thereon and has its lateral base flanges.

12 riveted securely thereto.` The inner Han e of the bracket is slit crosswise of the brac et on each side of the center, and the metal'betvveen the slits is bent upward in the forni of .a tongue 26, Which is riveted to the top of the web of the channel-shapedpcn tion 11 of the carline thereby constituting for the ends of` additional securing means The carline-'brackets are securely bolted or otherwise secured to theside plates; and the slitting of the brackets 4permits them to engage the ends of `various sections of car lines and to besecuredtheretoacross their entire end portion. v

of the car and that changes in the herein before described oarlinebrackets may be made Without departing from the invention as claimed. v

The, top Web portion of the bracket is secured` It is evident that said carlinebrackets 'may also be used for securing carlines oi' 'various commercial shapes to the side platesl Vhat We claim is:

1. A carline-bracket comprising a` body portion adapted to be secured to the side plate of a roar, said body portion having a tongue projecting ltherefrom and being adapted to besecured to the bottom-of the i carline and a tongue being adapted to 4be sei cured to its top. j j

2. A cardine-bracket comprising j an inverted channel-shaped body portion adapted to straddle the side plate of `a car and be secured thereto, the body portion of said carlinefhraeket having a tongue projecting therefrom crossvvise of the channel, whereby the body portion of said carline#bracket is adapted to be `secured to the bottom of a carline and the tongue is adapted to he se` cured to itstop.l t

3. A carlinebracket comprising an `invvented. channelshaped body portion adapted to straddle the side plate of a car and be secured thereto and comprising inner and outer langes, theinner flange` of said carline-bracket `being bent inwardly horizon-` tally to form a support for the end of a car line Which is adapted tobe secured thereto,

said carlinebracket having slits extending` inwardly from the edgeof one flange and partly across the body `portion thereby forni ing a tongue, said tongue being adapted to be secured to the top of the carline. j

4. A carline-bracket comprising abody portion adapted to rest on and be secured to the side of a carrthe body portion of said carlinebracket having a tongue projecting inwardly therefrom, the body portion'of said carline-bracket being adapted to be secured to the bottom of a carline and the i tongue being adapted to be secured to its top.` i

5. A carline-bracket comprising a body portion adapted tobe secured to thev side plate of a car, said bracket member havingw slits extending inwardly from one edge partly across its body portion forming a tongue, said tongue being adapted to be sel cured to the top` of a carline.
